Passover is coming tomorrow night, and I'm hosting a couple of Sators, actually, as is my namesake. And I also have a little confession to make. I keep Passover. I don't have bread. I don't have yeast. I follow all of the rules. except for when it comes to wine, because I cannot drink the Manashevitz. And it is not tasty.

And so I have made myself a special dispensation on Passover to actually have high-quality wine. And I know exactly where my wine's coming from this year. Naked wines. They provided all the wine for my Thanksgiving meal last fall. That was, and what Naked Wines is, is a wine club that directly connects you to the world's best independent winemakers so you can get world-class wine delivered straight to your door. You can use our code majority for the code and the password at Nakedwines.com and get $100 off your first order. That's six bottles of wine for just $39.99. I've enjoyed a Petit Surrah on, did I say that right?

On, from naked wines and some, in a pinot noir. There's a whole bunch of reds that I've had from naked wine that I love. I'm not a big white wine drinker, but they got great white wines as well. And of course, all of these wines were approved by my sister, which is a big deal because she is, she is a big wine snob. She worked in that business for a while. And the key to this is that naked wines brings you these high quality wines at a fraction of the cost because they go straight from the winery. And they save you up to 60% less than what you would pay in a store.

they cut out extra costs like middleman markups winemakers can pass those savings onto you without skimping on quality for me it makes it really easy because I don't know I'm not a huge wine connoisseur as it were so I don't have to go into the wine store and pretend like I know what I'm talking about and like ask about the body and etc., etc. Instead, I know that Naked Wines has great wines, and it makes it much easier for me.

All this and more on today's majority report. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, it is. Newsday, Tuesday.

You are right? You seem like you're... Yeah, I'm okay. I just have a little bit of a lump in my throat for a sec. Something caught in my throat. But I thought I still got the words out. You did, but you look like you were struggling. You were struggling.

You were making absolutely by those birds. All creation. Indeed. Indeed, you did. So I'm blackout Alex Jones in that scenario? It's just, it's really more of the subtext. It's more of the subtext. All right.

We'll get into this stuff about the war. Increasingly, and we'll talk more about this in a moment, but increasingly, I think this weekend is going to be, is going to mark either the end or just the beginning for this. I mean, I think it's probably the diaspora. already cast, I suspect. But we'll talk more about that in a moment. In the meantime, the Supreme Court, in an eight to one vote, their decision, I should say, has struck down a Colorado law, one of about 21, I think, in 21, I think, in 21 states around the country. that banned conversion therapy.

This is a, it's not a therapy. It's child abuse. It is child abuse in the form of therapy. It's all obviously religious-based. And the state of Colorado in 2019 banned licensed mental health professionals. I also just, I mean, I really am having trouble fully understanding this case and certainly why Kagan and, I can't remember, Sotomayor voted in favor of this.

Ostensibly, it's a First Amendment case, but it banned licensed, mental health professionals from practicing conversion therapy, which is something like, this is actually a clip from one of the early conversion therapies. I kid you not. They did a, you know, this goes all the way back to the aughts when this was becoming very big, where you teach kids, in this case, it's an adult, but where you teach kids that if they think they're gay, what they need to do is actively suppress those ideas. So they can butch up.

And the data is pretty clear on this. Youth who are subjected to conversion therapy are more than twice as likely to attempt suicide than their peers. Because it's abuse. This sounds funny. This is a grown adult taking a tennis racket. and smacking it on a couch, the progenitors of gay conversion therapy,

not necessarily for children, but for adults, were, I think a couple of referred to themselves as ex-gays. They ultimately became ex-gays as they realized like, I'm gay, and I'm not going to be able to not be gay and then renounced what they had started in a like ex gay groups essentially pretty unconscionable how Kagan and so in myro ruled here Katanji Brown Jackson is the lone descent

This is basically, when you see this in conjunction with the revocation of people's transgender identity on certain government documents, when you see things like how in federal prisons, the Trump administration is already kind of banning gender affirming care, which, they're basically forces trans inmates to convert back or pushes them back into dysphoria, also really endangers them in certain prisons. And the efforts to ban trans people from public spaces, this is just a larger effort to use the power of the state to force people into the closet, whether they're trans, gay, non-binary, buy, what have you. So for all this talk about how the moral arc of history bends towards justice, it's actually completely false.

You have to be vigilant all the time to protect people's rights. Trans people and gay people are obviously interlinked. This is evidenced by this case. And the people that thought that we could throw trans people under the bus on our way to some sort of, I don't know, vaguely defined electoral victory. have blood on their hands with this kind of decision. Literally, more kids are going to die, more adults are going to die. They're going to, they are being erased in our public spaces, and they're going to, this is going to hurt people's mental health indelibly.

And it should be clear here, because someone's writing this on IM. The court basically found, because the plaintiff, was not actually practicing conversion therapy. The court simply found that the statute written in Colorado was too broad and theoretically prevented this non-conversion therapy therapist, who is a Christian therapist, from, supposedly just talking about conversion or not being gay. So there's a lot of room here. I will also add, so it's going back down to the lower court. So we'll see from there.

We'll also add that you can, it's basically just narrowing what the state can regulate in terms of conversion therapy. Now, ultimately, I have a feeling they're going to go for the full hog. You can also continue to sue one of these conversion therapists for fraud. But why are conversion therapists allowed to practice conversion therapy under a medical license if we have all of the guidelines from these medical associations showing conversion therapy as torture? I mean, it's absurd. Why wouldn't you be able to just sort of like be licensed to, you know, I don't know. It's like alternative medicine. It is alternative medicine.

I mean, and like the alternative medicine during COVID, it's going to result in people dying. This is where the state should have a heavier hand here. This libertarian health care bent is killing people. But the amazing thing is that any of the justification of limiting. affirming health care. Like, you know, it seems like you're on both sides of that issue as the Supreme Court here. States can't provide gender affirming health care, but they can, they're incapable of preventing, I mean, what is some other form of like essentially of conversion therapy. I mean, it's fascinating.

It's abuse. So some of these health care practitioners can abuse people and children too in some of these instances, but they can't provide them with the care that they need. So we're going to be talking. We will follow up on this case as we go further. Today, or I should say tomorrow, there's going to be oral arguments on naturalized. citizens, whether this obvious part of the Constitution is invalid because we don't like immigrants anymore, essentially, I guess is the nature of the case. So we'll have somebody on to talk about

both of those cases, and I believe there's one or two other rulings, the Supreme Court's going to issue today. All of their cases that they've heard this year will be issued, or the results will be issued within the next really two and a half months or so. So we'll have somebody on soon to talk about that legal expert. In the meantime, a couple of words from our sponsors before we talk about the latest in Iran. And again, I think we are a couple of days away from finding out if we're going to actually put boots on the ground, as it were. today's sponsor is Babbel.

You save. We'll put the links in the podcast and YouTube description. Right now, there are thousands of. power troopers, either in the region or probably a day or two away from Iran. There is a story in the Washington, excuse me, in the Wall Street Journal that supposedly, and I'm very skeptical of this, Trump has told AIDS that he's willing to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran, even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed. So your skepticism is, with, Which in which direction? Is this another ruse to get the Iranians to drop their guards so that we can bomb them? Or are you seeing this as him actually trying to get an off ramp here? Because he's supposedly bored with his criminal war in Iran after we killed hundreds of people. I think it would be more, I don't think Iran is going to stand down. I think they don't, they're not going to believe anything. I think it could be.

the ladder. Like I think this could be, you know, Trump like floating a test balloon and seeing like who's going to come out and say, dude, you're going to look like a coward if you cut and run. But I suspect it's more about trying to get the stock market back up. Keep it up. One more good week for it. Into the weekend. It is a four-day weekend, I think it is, in terms of the stuff.

stock market, at least the three, right? Because you got Easter coming. Yep. And I suspect if we're going to do a ground invasion, it's going to happen over the weekend. And it could be just, you know, Trump thinks like, okay, all we need to do is go and take Carg Island. We'll take Carg Island and then we're done. Cool. And whatever that means, which sounds just... We're not going to take Carg Island. I mean, look, I would be surprised if we can take that island because you'll get a bunch of troops killed. They'll be sitting ducks. I don't understand that claim.

We'll blow it to smithereens, maybe. But listen to how childish all of this is. He wants to go in and take the oil wherever we're going. And like you said about Venezuela, oh, so people are going to have a little ladle in the town square and put it into their cars. The report from yesterday that he wants U.S. troops to go in and steal the uranium. Oh, cool. Like, just put it in some backpacks. Oh, no.

And head out. This is the way you do it. And now he just has this. Yeah. You just got to play the right music. Play the right music. He has this old school view of like, let's call, we'll take Carg Island because that will be some sort of visual victory for him, regardless of the fact that he's probably

changed the global economy indelibly for the rest of time. Trump's desire to end the war quickly is at odds with. other moves he's planning to make. This weekend, the USS Tripoli and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit entered the region. Trump has also ordered elements of the 82nd Airborne is considering sending another 10,000 ground troops to the Middle East. It's unclear to me whether or not they, they are actually there. There's other reporting that says thousands of U.S. Army power troopers arrive in the Middle East as a buildup intensifies. This story says that thousands of thousands of soldiers from the U.S. Army elite 82nd aboard arrived in the Middle East on Monday.

So, like, it is unclear. There's a lot of different stories that are being floated out there. But I do think the theory about this happening over the weekend is probably the most salient because it fits with everything that we've seen in terms of the patterns of how Trump has operated in this conflict. He's obsessed with the way that the market is responding. And he likes to, there, you have Christian national. like Pete Higgseth leaving this operation, where I can guarantee you that they're going to have some sort of goofy-ass Christian nationalist Easter-themed operational name for their invasion if it happens over the weekend.

Operation Find the Egg. Yeah. Here is Pete Hegseth. Should we start with five? Let's start with four. Here he is where he's talking about. I mean, Here's Hegs of talking about, like, you know, how the troops want to die for this.

Yes. This endeavor is and how they're chomping at the bit. I did the same with his boss, a colonel with a heart the size of Texas and a beautiful deployment mustache to match. Nice. I witnessed lethality. I met a junior airman as the sun was going down and a chill was setting on the tarmac. who when asked what they needed, she simply looked up at me with a sly smile on her face. Because I'm taller than her.

More bombs, sir. And bigger bombs. We will happily oblige her. I did the same with this. Accidentally in love. That's the rom-com happening for war crimes. Supposedly, according to the AP, Gulf allies of the United States. including Saudi Arabia and the UAE are urging Trump to continue prosecuting the war against Iran,

arguing that Tehran has not been weakened enough by the month long U.S.-led bombing campaign. You don't see any stories of Israel encouraging Trump to continue to bomb Iran. I suspect that they are. It would be odd if they weren't. they're certainly also attacking Iran and specifically their infrastructure in such a way that Israel, of course, would love to debilitate Iran moving forward. We no longer talk about, you know, freeing the Iranian people. You don't hear as much.

I mean, that's sort of... Well, these are the objectives, right? regime change. No, regime's still intact, although Trump says we did do regime change as we killed the dead. Who was going to die pretty soon anyway? Yeah. your old man. Right. Then did the Iranian people take to the streets like we were told? No. I mean, they're killing some protesters, but not like because of the, like the bombing campaign. They're

not saying, yeah, go Israel. Also, did we destroy their nuclear program that we already supposedly destroyed? Well, we're about to. Or the straight of Hormuz. Now, when we take it. That's not under our control. So none of the objectives that he threw out there have been achieved. And I think the thing that we have to sort of contemplate is the idea that there are people who are encouraging Trump to do this, and there are people who are trying to discourage Trump from doing this. I think for many people who are in that, you know, milieu, there's also this, well, you've already broken it. It's already broken. Iran is now going to charge attacks on the straight of war.

more moves that is going to keep oil up at a certain price. And unfortunately, you know, the, the difference between oil being over $100 a barrel now for producers is that for those who are able to produce and get their oil to the market, it's all just profit. if the oil coming out of the Strait of Hormuz actually ends up like basically providing attacks, it's going to inhibit other regions of the world. And I imagine it's, I don't know if it's going to have the same sort of like inflationary push on all of the oil sales.

It's unclear. But with that said, Trump may be buying the story that, look, you drop 2,500 paratroopers on Carg Island, you secure it, you'll have shut down Iran's capacity to sell their own oil, which I've seen arguments that they can sell 80% of their oil through other means. they don't need Carg Island in the same way. It'll be more expensive and more difficult, but that still be able to do it. They'll just turn off the pipe that pumps it to Carg Island.

And the idea of once Trump commits to any boots on the ground in Carg Island, if you are in favor of this war just continuing, maybe you're like a guy like Scott Besson, who has like high stakes in LNG. Maybe you are a guy like Pete Hegson. who is like, this is my moment to shine. Maybe you are Lindsay Graham and just a general neocon psychopath. Maybe you're Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Maybe you're Israel. You know that the way you do this is not by getting Trump to commit to a 15-year-long war. You get him to commit to baby steps that make it that much harder for him to dig himself Because that's where we are today. Yeah. And McCargg Island thing, I mean, the U.S. media is complicit right now in covering up the damage, both that Iran inflicted in terms of, like, hitting Israeli sites, it appears, but also this major thing where they destroyed this U.S. aircraft on the Saudi base, which is going to cost $700 million

to replace. And this is a radar aircraft that helps them monitor the airspace in the area. So we now, like, there's no replacement for that coming around. And now Trump wants to put, put U.S. troops as sitting ducks on Karg Island right off the coast of Iran when we don't necessarily have the air power to monitor the situation. And they have drones that are cheap as hell that can go up and shoot down anything. It is so deeply disrespectful to like the men and women that are in the service. It's just unbelievable because they're they're setting themselves up to really be killed and hurt here. here's hegsith um you know again all of these things all of these statements could sort of like

cut either way um trump uh sending paratroopers to card island and then saying like okay we're done now maybe that's what he thinks he can do if he gets the um other countries to do as pete hegsit his con i mean like it doesn't sound like a lot of uh that anybody's willing to be the first country to join the united states in this sort of like quagmire i think the president was clear this morning and his truth that there are countries around the world who ought be prepared to step up on this critical waterway as well it's not just the united states navy last time i checked there was supposed to be a big bad royal navy that could be prepared to do things like that as well So he's pointing out, this is an international waterway that we use less than most, in fact,

dramatically less than most. So the world ought pay attention to be prepared to stand up. President Trump's been willing to do the heavy lifting on behalf of the free world to address this threat of Iran. It's not just our problem. Can you pause it? I'm sorry. We have done the lions. Well, I guess we have a second. Keep going. Preparation to ensure that that straight will be open, which is an outcome the president's been very clear on. So we, uh, we did.

We did this war in Iran out of love for our friends in Europe, apparently, because we don't really use the strait that much. So when we started on behalf, you know, with Israel's, on Israel's behalf as well, started this war against Iran. We were doing it not because it was in the Israeli interests or because Trump was high on his own supply after Venezuela. We did it for you, Europe, and we didn't consult you on it. But now you still should commit your troops to help the U.S. Navy, which is supposedly so powerful that they can do it alone. We're the decider. Trump alone will decide how this war ends. But also, please Europe, can you help us out? Can you help us out? And can you send your troops in first so we don't face the political blowback for the war that we started when U.S. troops get killed?

It's insane. It's insane. It now actually occurs to me that the reason why Trump is leaking this thing. about the Strait of Hormuz is probably to try and convince the Europeans to jump in. He can say it doesn't, I don't really care. It will raise the price of oil. It will create a floor essentially for oil because it's adding a fixed cost to every barrel that leaves the Strait of Hormuz. and that, of course, will raise the price of oil everywhere.

It might make it easier, in my estimation, for, you know, President AOC in 20209 to encourage a return to and more support for sustainable energy because of the price of oil. The Trump, the Green Trump deal. That's what I'm doing. I just don't see the Europeans. I just don't see anybody else coming into this situation. I've started to read. I think Two's had something, Adam Too's had something about like,

here are five steps that China can do to ascend essentially to the world leader. That's what they should be about. Everyone is mad at us. Literally our partners in the Gulf, Europe and Iran, they should all work together and cut us out. And I, to say that as America is pretty weird to say. We're the problem.

Y'all should figure it out and work diplomacy without us. Because this is ridiculous. Just like Taylor Swift said. Hey, enough. But I'm very skeptical about like in the Western press, these Gulf states saying, you know, we're behind you, President Trump. You like, this is what we're in favor of because I don't think they want this level of instability. Well, their problem now is you started this. And if Trump leaves, you've put Iran in a much stronger position than they were before the start of war.

because Saudi Arabia is going to be paying those, you know, like it's their shift to Iran. Yes. Thanks for that war. Right. And but the Europeans, like, they're going to have, they're going to probably now be engaging in direct talks with the Iranians at this point. Like this is strength. One, Russia is the, Russia and China are the two biggest beneficiaries of what has happened here with both Russia and Putin jacking up oil prices because there's the scarcity. So he's been selling it at a premium. in addition to the U.S. seemingly maybe taking away military resources from Ukraine for this war in Iran. So Putin's loving it. China just has to sit back and have them look like the more stable partner, not look like a be the more stable partner. And Europe is going to say, like, perhaps this military alliance with this belligerent superpower has outlived its usefulness. The economy of the world is moving beyond us.

And China is now has advanced in green energy, advanced in AI, advanced in their infrastructure. This is the kind of technology they should be buying from as well. Yeah. The problem, though, that you're not thinking about is China has to go back to all of their like five-year and 10-year plans and white out the number five and 10 and 20 and then make it more like two. and four and I mean it is it really is unexplicable as to what motivated Trump to do this and I don't think that we can discount stupidity and in you know as a as a reason there's a lot of other reasons here's Pete Hagsith just to close the loop. This is number six. Six, yeah.

Here's Pete Hagsith. Just finishing up the briefing as you would, you know, it's a Pentagon briefing, and so this is the way that you basically end these things when you are engaged in a jihad or, I guess. Yeah, Holy War. Standing here this morning in this briefing room, in my mind's eye, I'm actually looking out at the groups I met this weekend. The pilots, the logisticians, the intel analysts, the targeters, the sustainers, the flight crews, the air defenders, the base security, those maintainers who we walked up at sunset with the chill and the air on the flight line. May God watch over all of them each day and each night. May his almighty and eternal arms of providence stretch over them and protect them and bring them peace.

In the name of Jesus Christ. And amen. You know, I feel like what we're missing is him taking a cross out of a fire and brandishing maybe somebody in the, like anointing somebody through the blood of Christ. in the Pentagon pool room. May Jesus Christ protect our men and women that we're sending to the Middle East to fight for Israel. In Jesus Christ's name, amen.

Yes, there we go. Oh, and then, I mean, they're not just killing for Israel. They're also killing for oil. Yeah, and missile companies. Oh. Lockheed Martin's doing great. And because Trump wants to look tough in front of Xi Jinping. in May. I mean, honestly, it's, I don't know that we'll ever know the reality of like what it,

what it was, you know, with Iraq, I just remember when, oh gosh, I got his name now. One of the neocons, Wolfowitz said in front of the Senate, weapons of mass destruction with the thing we could all agree on. But they all had their. own set of reasons. You know, Cheney, obviously, you know, believe that I think controlling the oil out of there would be both profitable and a way to minimize China's assent. That didn't work out so well. And I think, you know, the Feith and Pearl thought like, oh, this is going to be a great opportunity to impose a free market democracy on the area. And there were others, I'm sure, who thought, like, oh, once we take out Iraq, then we go to Syria, then we go to Iran,

and Israel will be free to do as it pleases in the area and finally, you know, get rid of the Palestinian people without any hindrances. I mean, there is a whole set. Oh, and I think for George W. Bush, it was all that. And I'm going to avenge my daddy. I'm going to do what my daddy didn't do. I mean, you know, there's another way that we could have been competitive with China instead of pouring billions and billions of dollars into weapons manufacturers. We could have chosen to reorient our economy in a way that made us competitive technologically

and not have all of the value go to speculators and to investors, but it could have gone into like the actual industries. And we could have been, advance but you don't like betting and NFTs and put on number nine here I mean I think like this is the thing it's one thing for you to say that but I mean look at Iran for instance yes can you imagine this kind of projection and at the end of the day I think that if there are people in Iran who now given everything that's happened are willing to move in a different direction for their country that would be great imagine in Iran that instead of spending their wealth billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons had spent that money helping the people of Iran,

you'd have a much different country. So we are hopeful that that would exist over there. I just don't know how those words come out of your mouth. They're literally talking about more cuts to Medicaid to support this war. We have just kicked millions of people off of Medicaid. To add to the millions who don't have health care coverage. The entire premise, fake premise of his campaign was like America First, which ostensibly, I think many of them took the heart, meaning, oh, you mean white people, Uber-Ale's instead of like, maybe we should take care of our people before we start going on these excursions. I mean, around.

How does he say this without like going like? I think they're projecting. I think this is like we can't even probably fathom the amount of. projection in the conservative mind. Like, I mean, I don't, I, it's absolutely insane. Iran probably is thinking, no, we should have spent way more money on defense. Like, I saw Trita Parsy was interviewed by CNN. And he said that the, the fatwa, the religious edict that prevented the, the, the construction of a nuclear weapon, it's dead. There's no consensus for it anymore within the, the Iranian government. Why would there be? They've been bombed by two nuclear

armed nations, the U.S. and its attack dog colony, Israel. And even when they were abiding by the nuclear agreement, they see that nuclear agreement as like we were suckers for doing good faith negotiations with the

Americans. And then Trump in his first term, assassinates Qasem Soleimani out of nowhere. And then I remember going to no war with Iran protests then. Like in 2017, 2018. And at that time, I was like, oh God, we stave that off.

His lesson from that was we didn't do enough. And you had people in the mainstream press laundering this freak as anti-war because they believed him when he said things like peace through strength, which just means more bombing. And then we can push them into submission. And that's my, that's my foreign policy. I mean, it's so polyanish. It's so embarrassing. It's also quite clear that, um,

all of those people around Trump as somewhat sort of like insane as some of them were. We're all mitigating and counterbalances to what he wanted to do. I mean, we read all the reporting. Why can't we use a nuke? Why can't we shoot the protesters? Right. I mean, on and on and on. and

Rex Tiller What was it? Tillerson. Tillerson and Mattis and even that scumbagg John

his chief of staff all these names I've tried to purge from my memory Well, Rains Previs but after him the

the army guy Um Yeah Irish guy I can't remember now Kelly John Kelly all of them who basically said to Trump, you can't do this.

And the deal that I think like Madison Kelly had with each other where it was like, we're going to prevent him, you know, if he tries to do this, we're going to stop him. All of the. Hex us in charge now. All of this, all of the reporting that said that these people who were on like one end of the spectrum of like driving us to the brink were the voices. of reason. And Trump knew better this time around. I'm only getting the people who will agree with me.

There will be no voices in the White House who are going to say, don't do it. I like to hang out with losers. Honestly. And that is, I mean, listen, they're. McMaster and John and Kelly made him feel inadequate. The reason, yeah, McMasters is the other one. Yeah, yeah. And the reason why you see billionaires doing stupid stuff is because they've been in a bubble where no one has said no to them or like, I'm not sure.

That doesn't, you know, whatever it is. I don't think that's a good idea. Nobody says no to them. And that's what Trump has built for himself. Nobody around him is saying this is a bad idea, Mr. President. Nobody. Because that's the way they maintain all of their fiefdoms. The reason why Miller is able to maintain its fiefdom, and we saw that clip of him at that meeting where, like, the stuff about Iran, he was just like, because he's an American fester, right? Like all of what he's doing supposedly.

He's a huge Zionist, though. I mean, he very well may be, but he knows this is going to tank. He was banging the anti-war drum against Kamala pretty hard. He knows this is going to tank, but he's not going to say anything because it's the way that he maintains his portfolio. Nobody steps up and says, don't do this because they know they'll be cut out. And they're all a bunch of freaking losers. And they got nowhere else to go. Nowhere else to go. Or they could join Christine Nome and the sheet.

Where is she in? The Avenue of the Shields. The Shield of America. Shield of the Americas, yeah. I like that that's like Atlantis, basically. Like, wherever the hell she is. Just send her in a tube out to space. Well, they're, you know, they're smart about this in that they know they got to give something to people so they don't squeal.

Yeah. Special envoy for the shield of the Americas. You know, whoever it is, you know, they jettisoned Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, you know. Gold foil. Yeah. Golden Parachute for you. Yeah. And remember, if you don't like the golden parachute, we can cut the parachute strings, and you'll fall far and fast. And that's what they're doing. Meanwhile, let's play this clip of Trump. This is an older clip that I found out this from January of last year.

What's that? Oh, that is? Oh, yeah, I thought we had seen that. Okay. I said he's done that before. Yeah, every president has done that. Of course. but here is Laura Ingram This is interesting

Because Laura Ingram You know You wonder if Sean Hannity will be with him Until the end But Laura Ingram has been demoted at Fox News Because of the whole You're getting older lady

Situation Probably means Trump's less interested In hearing What she has to say as well I remember having Lunch with you And you don't look as good as you Unlike Dana.

You don't look better. But so she's going to copy paste a lot of what you're hearing from conservative online influencers, even like Tucker Carlson, where he's approaching criticizing Trump very tepidly. But for the most part, they act like Trump has no agency. He's also incredibly powerful, smart genius, the only person who can decide. But he's also weak enough to be so easily misled. by the folks around him. However, it's important that this is happening on Fox News in prime time. So if we cannot come to some type of peace deal with people who can't be trusted, then what? Well, looks like the U.S. is going to escalate. President Trump is already warning of widespread

further damage, threatening to hit electric generating plants, oil wells, and Carg Island. as he's reportedly considering sending ground troops in to secure the uranium. Now, knowing what little time we have and how quickly this can spiral out of control, we still have a lot of questions. For instance, was the president fully briefed about the risks of all of this from the beginning? And was he then able to take it all in and understand the complexity of this, how complex it could actually get? and further possibilities of casualties or other damage,

the difficulty of dealing with his people. Or was he told this would be relatively quick in and out? So if we cannot... All right, so you see what she's setting up there. I mean, she couldn't help herself. Like, maybe he's too dense to understand what was going on. That was sort of the middle one. But what she's also saying is like, maybe there's an opportunity to find a fall guy.

Bad information. Oh, yeah. Bad information. Remember from last week when Hegseth was thrown under the bus. I'm telling you, that's a seed. He said, some people are saying that we should fire you. A very powerful guy came up to me and really, really went into your heart. And I said, he's doing a great job.

He's doing a great job. But is he? But he wouldn't acknowledge that criticism if he wasn't. This happened with Christy Noem. And he started ignoring her at the cabinet meetings. And then two months later, what do you know? It would be funny if Laura Ingram just really hated Pete Hegzeth from their time together at Fox News and just like decided. That is also very possible.

I mean, look, I think it would be hard for someone like Laura Engram who takes herself so seriously. I would not be surprised if she's like, I can't believe this freaking complete wasteoid moron is the Secretary of Defense. And she's just waiting. Obviously, you know, she doesn't want to, there's no reason for her to put her neck out for anything at this point. But she doesn't seem to be moving her neck at all. Well, there's a lot of, there's a lot of, I get the sense there has been a lot of injections throughout her face. There's not a lot of movement. Exactly.

I started in a freezer overnight. This is Nora Ingram excited to see somebody. Hey, how are you? God, you look great. Oh, my God. Oh, it's so good to see you. Oh, it's having such a great time. Oh, it's really great.

We should, we would be remiss if we don't touch on this. I want to talk about this new law that Israel passed just for a minute. But we should say that we mentioned Christy Noem. and it's not about kinkshaming as much as like a lot of people were wondering i mean christie gnomes husband came out and was very supportive of her when uh she was publicly i think um accused of having an affair with kori lew undowski he came out he he spoke out he spoke out he spoke out right will you find that i'm quite sure he did well and and and supported her so much that he said i'll stay behind in south dakota and you go off to washington dc to achieve your dreams yes but he

was also he he was very uh specific i think in and like you know how dare did he so it was a surprise appearance behind at the judiciary can uh committee earlier this month yeah put this up didn't he say something i'm looking for what he said um he was He thanked her calling it a personal privilege to be allowed to be behind her at that hearing. Do we have any, we don't have any video. He can only be behind her. Honestly, I don't want to kinkshame the guy. But it is quite clear that the support did not go both ways.

Because somehow, a very private photo of Christy Noem's husband. Several, actually. as several have been leaked and I mean honestly like the nipples on that one are so messed up

did he get one implant in one and not in the other he doesn't seem to feel right I get it but the nipples are not aligned okay he doesn't ever feel the need there's another one doesn't ever feel the need to really line up the nipples

that's all right yeah but here's the point it is quite clear that like put it back up How do they show that crop shot? There's so many. Okay. He's wearing a crop top?

Well, the point is like, I don't know. I suspect he didn't post these pictures anywhere. I suspect that they were somehow leaked. And I think what we're seeing, this is my speculation. She is done with him now. Like her, she knows her political career has peaked, as it were. She's got all this cash that she and Corey, garnered through all of their dealings.

This is my prediction. And I'm going out on a limb, and I don't generally do predictions like this. But they're going to break up because she's going to be so offended by the pictures that she was completely aware of beforehand. And that's the way that their relationship was maintained and why he was okay with her having an affair.

And then she and Corey are going to get married, and then they can't testify against each other. There you go. Put that shit on Polly Market right now. I like that theory. If they weren't Republicans, we wouldn't make fun of this at all. Like they could have a lavender marriage and have her have her own thing outside of it and him do his thing. And they want to raise their kids together.

That rocks. But my guess is the reason that she is responsible for the leaking of this stuff. Yes, that's the get. I mean, who else would be sending it the daily mail? Right. after she got fired by Trump. Yeah, it's what a coincidence. Or maybe it's Corey because it's love.

And he wants to hasten the end of this. Perhaps. She won't leave him. You keep telling me you're going to leave him. I mean, it's hard to know. All right. Meanwhile, let's just do this as well. The Israeli Knesset

passed a law yesterday that is a death penalty that is essentially a de facto death penalty only for Palestinians. Yes, it makes this distinction between military and civilian court. And you would not be shocked to find out that in military courts, it's primarily Palestinians that are tried. Palestinians out of the West Bank in particular. And you want to know what the conviction rate is for Palestinians in Israeli military court? 99%. Lawmakers voted 62 to 48 in favor the legislation after nearly a 12-hour debate. Ben Gavir, Israel's national security minister, who was previously convicted of incitement to racism against Arabs,

and has taken to wearing a noose on his lapel to show his support for the bill. Here he is sharing some celebratory champagne after this past, this fascist comes out. And they're literally, their lapel pins are nooses. Almost to look like the hostage pin pins because they're also yellow. It specifies that you can run the footage. It specifies that military courts that try Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, the default punishment for killing an Israeli citizen in an act of terror would be the death penalty. It also allows convictions based on the majority rather than unanimous rulings by a military courts.

So it basically lessens the standard for where you can impose the death penalty. and it requires the executions be carried out within 90 days of the final verdict, so there's no like messing around with appeals to the extent that there's any process for that. In Israeli courts, non-military courts, which try Israelis, including Palestinian citizens of Israel, the death penalty will apply only in cases where a murder was committed with the intention of, quote, rejecting the existence of the state of Israel. Yeah, I would just keep that in mind when people ask reflexively news anchors. Do you agree that Israel has a right to exist?

This is a step away from calling people terrorists. I mean, many of the opposition members voted for this bill as well. A clause that critics say means it will not apply to Jewish Israelis. Judges in these courts will also be able to choose whether it impose a death penalty or life imprisonment. So do crimes that further the existence of the state of Israel, aka, meaning maintaining its apartheid status and Jewish supremacist bent, like say Jewish extremism, those kinds of acts? Well, if you murder somebody, I mean, if like Ben Gavir was to have murdered somebody in carrying out his extremist positions, presumably a defense to the death. penalty, be like, no, I did it in furtherance of the state of Israel. Of the

existence of the state of Israel. I mean, that's probably why. Your honor is not available to this guy because... I mean, that rapist, that rape the Palestinian prisoner on camera that all charges were dropped for and he's now on Israeli TV as a celebrity showing

his face proudly, that rape was in furtherance of the existence of the state of Israel. So that shouldn't be a crime either. And it wasn't. And it wasn't. There you go. I just, I mean,

I'm sure Jake Tapper focused on that last night, right? Can we just, can we just play a little of this woman crying with joy as she does it? I mean, just a little. Support of the death penalty law,

42, 48 deposed one abstainer. I hear by declare the death penalty law. passed in the second and third hearing. The guy stopping him from popping champagne. And the book of laws in the state of Israel, who has provided us life and sustained us in broad.

And it's disgusting. That's actually a prayer. That's a prayer. Mm-hmm. So gross. I have thoughts. that I will not speak. I'm remembering Molly Crab Apple on the show yesterday

talking about the hijacking of a religion by insane nationalists and there you go. There you go. And my God, maybe we'll get into this later, but I tweeted out this clip of Marjorie Taylor Green on a fundraising call with Thomas Massey where she explicitly blames, quote, Jewish billionaires for backing his opponent.

Not Zionists, Jewish billionaires. We are at this moment here where there are really dominant voices who have been given a lot of credibility unduly by some people on our side of the aisle as well, but also just because they're saying truths that folks in the Republican Party won't say, although the framing is really problematic. Like, we are on the precipice of, I think, many years of prolonged anti-Semitism because of this, because there has been an active effort to blame, to conflate Zionism with judicious. And you have these Christian nationalists who are making media careers out of this, where they blame Jews for the crimes of American Empire and absolve Christian Zionists who are essential in this role. We just played that clip of Pete Heggzeth with his religious justification for the war in Iran. As the state of Israel is also thrilled about this war in Iran, we are working in conjunction with Israel. Israel is our outgrowth. It's not Israel that is the genesis of this, but it's really convenient for Republicans

like her to absolve themselves of their own religious fundamentalism. And this is supposedly anti-establishment, these voices. No, you guys are keeping the entire structure of American foreign policy in place, but you're just throwing Jews and Israel overboard. Also, Marjorie Taylor Green, she could have stayed in office for the past, you know, since January and had real influence on the future of this war. I mean, that War Powers Act needed four Democratic votes. Maybe it would have been harder to get five of those Democrats over.

Or maybe if Marjorie Taylor Green was voting against the war, it would have made it harder for those four Democrats to actually vote because, wait a second, I don't want to be to the right of Marjorie Taylor Green on this. Yeah, was there a conspiracy behind her leaving? She was in a position of power that was, A, because of her fundraising and whatnot, greater than just about any other Republican lawmaker outside of those in leadership. And B, because of her profile, could have had real impact. they're really like there's probably

I don't know a dozen people maybe that you could say would have more impact than Marjorie Taylor Green I don't know even who they would have been because of how she was situated as a Republican in a moment where there's like a one seat majority and the idea that she's getting credit for anything is just absurd to me. Yeah that's what I every day I see.

You literally walked away from the power that you had, it is the ultimate and cowardice. Yeah. And I don't agree with AOC voting against her amendment, but I can understand the trepidation that she had of aligning herself with this unrepentant anti-Semite. If we want to compare records on this, as some people are doing online, in March 2024, AOC called the genocide. Marjorie Taylor Green waited until summer 2025 to do so as she was planning her exit.

there were only six members that joined that Marjorie Taylor Green Amendment. So if you want to say that AOC's record on this issue is worse than Rashida Taleb Ilhan Omar and Summerlee and Al Green who voted for it, I'm fine with that. But in terms of like top 10 in Congress, it's pretty obvious who it is. AOC is objectively near the top.

And those, I think, I wish you wouldn't freelance on issues like that. But it would be nice for all the people that want to use it to hit AOC. Would lift up people like Talib and Omar because I don't really see, Marjorie Taylor Green types doing that. And my point is like the idea that it was her and Massey were the two Republicans that were on that. And the, okay, perhaps those votes are useful at certain points. But the point, like, the worldview of Marjorie Taylor Green, one where there's like no belief in foreign aid.

Her early votes that were against Israel aid was when it was packaged with Ukraine. And all of her rhetoric on that front at the time was anti-Ukraine. funding. It's about she believes in like abdicating responsibility that the United States Empire has throughout the world to be an isolationist. And I believe in internationalism and universal human rights. And AOC is a lot closer to that ideology than someone like Marjorie Taylor Green. And we have lost the plot if there are people that think that Marjorie Taylor Green, because she's decided to make a media career out of this, is in some way a more effective anti-Zionist voice than AOC. I'm not sure if the brain rot is

going to be solved anytime soon on this. New York Post has Christy Noem weighing in on report the family was blindsided by this. Right? I'm sure. Not the wife though. I got it to me. Miss Nome is devastated. The flam, oh my God, she definitely leaked these photos. I never guessed the closet he was hiding. I can't. I can't. I I can't believe it happened just as I was being investigated for stealing millions of dollars with my boyfriend. And now I'm not, now my political career is over.

I can't believe it. What a coincidence. Siding hundreds of messages purportedly sent by three women from the scene, Nome's husband, enthusiastic, praised their heavily augmented and proclaimed. He coveted huge, huge, ridiculous. those boobs. He appears to put balloons in his shirt to mimic comically oversided,

lopsided breasts. So the lopsidedness is part of it for him, because he never matched the nipples up in a single one of the... Oh, the kids, okay. The kids are 31, 29, and 23. So she wanted out of this. And this is her exit strategy.

You know, she's been sitting on those... Oh, yeah. Wait, 23. So that means that final kid is out of college. Perfect timing. She's been sitting on these photos for a while. That's why she gets to act the way she knows, have swirled about the state of the gnomes marriage in recent years,

primarily concerning the ousted DHS's chief relationship with Trump confidant, Corey Lewandowski, who's also married. I wonder if we're going to see photos of Lewandowski. wife cross-dressing. She puts a cucumber in her pants. Has been by Nome's side at high-profile events, even sitting side by side across from Gia and his

during a meeting with South Africa. I don't know what the point of that. Talking about white genocide. Yeah. Okay. So Nome is done, and then Lewandowski's done, and then they're together. They'll get married quickly so that if the investigation proceeds, they can't

testify against each other, and they're probably the most valuable witnesses that can't be forced test by against your uh your that's my guess that's it folks it is time for uh us to uh head to the fun half of the program we started a little bit early had a little bit of fun christie gnome and uh i mean i feel bad for her husband frankly like dude you picked the wrong lady to get involved with even if you there were no pictures i'd feel bad for him. Yes. Right. Right. I mean,

I mean, they had a pretty, if he was allowing her to just be off with Corey for this long period of time, like, as lavender marriages go, that's all right. Well, apparently it's not even lavender marriage. He just likes big boobs. Which is a little bit of a curveball on that.

He likes him so much that he wants them. Himself, yeah. Yeah. Well, whatever float, boat as aware. Those the ladies of the views. Folks, it's your support that makes the show possible. Become a member and support the

show. You get the free show free of commercials. You get the fun half. And at the end of this week, right maybe on Monday of next week, we're going to send out an email to members with an offer. of, it's going to be first come, first serve of a free copy of Molly Crab Apple's book. I would encourage you if you can afford it to buy the book because every pre-order of the book, and we'll put the link in the podcast and YouTube description, every pre-order helps it get one step closer to being a New York Times bestseller.

And if that happens, it's just going to get a lot of it. more prominence because Jake Tapper's going to have a real problem. I mean, the, the, the beauty of that book is both that it shows a, it gives another vision on how to sort of like express your Judaism in the context of an ideology you're probably already sympathetic to, but it also shows that there was anti-Zionism well before there was Israel. and its most prominent voices were Jewish. Avi Lewis, I saw giving an interview about coming from a long tradition of anti-Zionist Jews and carrying that tradition forward as well.

So that's exciting that he leads the NDP now in Canada. It'd be nice to see that conversation on our major airwaves every once in a while. Did you say those books, though, are you're only doing domestic shipping? Oh, yes, we should say, we will pay for your shipping. if you're in the United States. If you're in Canada, you're going to have to pay for your own shipping. If you're in Europe, you're going to have to pay for your own shipping. Because you've been taking advantage of us

for too long. We'd be giving you a free ride. All you non-Americans, so. And also, don't forget, just coffee.coop, fair trade coffee, hot chocolate. Use your coupon code. Majority, get 10% off, and you can buy the majority of poor

blend. Matt, what's happening in the Matt Lechion Media universe. Yeah, a fun show coming up on Left Reckoning right after the fun half today over on Left Reckin YouTube channel or on Twitch, where we talk about CPAC, some cognitive dissonance going on and generationally about, say, Steve Bannon's presence at CPAC, despite being a big Epstein fan or the Iran War. Also, we talk about Trump being at the investment conference in Miami at the same time. I'd rather talk to investors than you stupid activist hogs.

And something we're going to be talking about in the fun half today is Rob Schneider's glorious return to stand-up comedy that really probably has you a little bit worried, Brian, that there's more competition. Brian's been hanging his head all day at the office. He's been taking notes. He's been talking like Rob Schneider. It's just when you run into someone who does it at that level. I know.

Just makes you wonder why by the way you try. I don't even step on the fucking stage. Poor Brian. Poor, poor, poor Brian. Brian, take the pork pie hat off. It's not going to... Come on, dude. Can I leave my iridescent blazer on?

We'll see in the fun half. Three months from now, six months from now, nine months from now. And I don't think it's going to be the same as it looks like in six months from now. and I don't know if it's necessarily going to be better six months from now than it is three months from now. But I think around 18 months out, we're going to look back and go like, wow. What? What is that going on? It's nuts.

Wait a second. Hold on for, hold on for a second. The majority. Emma, welcome to the program. Hey. Fun pack. Matt. Who fun.

What is up, everyone? Fun pack. No me keen. You did it. Fun, hack. Let's go Brandon. Let go Brandon. Fun crap.

Bradley, you want to say hello? Sorry to disappoint. Everyone, I'm just a random guy. It's all the boys today. Fundamentally false. No, I'm sorry. Women's... Stop talking for a second.

Let me finish. Where is this coming from, dude? But dude, you want to smoke his... Seven, eight? Yes. Yes? I think it is you. Who is you?

Fricking day. What's on your mind? We can discuss free markets, and we can discuss... capitalism. I'm going to just know why. Libertarians. They're so stupid, though. Common sense says, of course. Gobbled e-gook. We fucking nailed him. So what's 79 plus

21? Challenge met. I'm positively clovery. I believe 96, I want to say. 857. 210. 35. 501. 1 half. 3-8s. 9-11 for instance. $3,400. $1,900.

$6.5,4, $3 trillion sold. It's a zero-sum game. Actually, you're making me think less But let me say this. Poop. You can call satire, Sam goes satire. On top of it all? Yeah. My favorite part about you is just like every day all day.
